As long as he can remember, Tal Ben-Shahar wanted to be a professional athlete. His parents supported that with one caveat - he had to do well in his academics.

Tal did just that. He played squash in college and was doing quite well academically at Harvard.

Until the day came that he was no longer quite well. Though young in age Tal's body began to break down, which dashed away his professional dreams of being an athlete. His perfectionism and lack of knowing his major overwhelmed him with stress.

At one of the biggest crossroads of his life, Tal asked himself, "What can I do to be happier?"

The rest is history. He got his PhD and taught at Harvard. Not only was an instructor, he taught the most popular classes in Harvard's rich history. He taught happiness.

After authoring some wildly successful books, Tal leads the Happiness Studies Academy, which is open for all.

Tal's work has influenced me profoundly, but I did my best to keep my fan-boying down to talk about a few things, namely...

• The difference between joy and happiness;
• What is more important happiness or emotion diversity;
• The relationship between happiness and success.
